A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Sham-controlled Trial of e-TNS for the Acute Treatment of Migraine (The TEAM Study)

data of the efficacy and safety of the Cefaly® Abortive Program device in the abortive
treatment of acute migraine as measured by 2-hour pain freedom, pain relief and
migraine-associated symptoms freedom, plus evolution of these measurements for 24 hours after
the beginning of the treatment session.
